    Based upon Lenovo's last attempt at a pre-loaded Linux system, I would
    advise all to avoid this potential piker.....
    http://www.channelinsider.com/c/a/Re...-of-Questions/

    "After the initial boot and logon, we were faced with a clean,
    well-organized desktop, but one element caught our eye right away¡Xa text
    document called ThinkPad Readme.txt. We launched it and found that the
    document¡¦s first line was ¡§Limitations, Workarounds and How To¡¦s for
    SLED10.¡¨ We did not like the sound of that ¡§limitations¡¨ element. After
    all, isn¡¦t Linux supposed to be about overcoming limitations?

    The first part of the document covered ¡§features not supported.¡¨ Some of
    those features are:

    * ThinkVantage Active Protection System.
    * ThinkVantage Access Connections for SUSE Linux
    * ThinkPad Configuration for SUSE Linux
    * ThinkPad Power Manager for SUSE Linux
    * Wireless WAN Adapter
    * ThinkVantage Button
    * (Intel Graphics System) DVI Output

    From our point of view, Lenovo was not off to a good start. "
